GISELE THOMPSON’ s inclusion on the roster along with her older sister Alyssa marks just the third time that a pair of sisters have been on the same USWNT roster. The first instance occurred in the late 1990s when twins Lorrie and Ronnie Fair were called up together.- Most recently, Samantha and Kristie Mewis were on the 2021 Olympic Team together. This is Gisele Thompson’ s second USWNT call-up after training with the team in June of 2024.

Macario played in last year’ s SheBelieves Cup, which marked her return to the USWNT after a long injury layoff. She would be named to the 2024 Olympic Team but had to withdraw due to persistent knee irritation.
